Cassothea is an Imperial world that lays within the Pariah Nexus and was being invaded by the Necron, when the Indomitus Crusade's forces arrived. A Company worth of Ultramarines was sent to defend the world, but they were vastly outnumbered by the Xenos. Though the Crusade's command had ordered that Cassothea most not fall to the Necron, the war went badly quickly. Within only days of arriving there, the senior of the two Lieutenants leading the Company was killed by the Necrons and Lieutenant Falerius took command of the Company. He ordered the Ultramarines to focus on saving Cassothea's capital city, Macuth, but months later, the Necron had destroyed most of it. Many of the city's population had been massacred as well, along with over half of the Ultramarines. With no way to stop the Necron hordes from repairing themselves and with the last Crusade supply ship crashing into Cassothea, the order was given to evacuate the world. Soon afterwards, Falerius would be killed by the Necron and Sergeant Allectius took command as an acting Lieutenant.[1]
